Things like little calender popups are okay imo, but they're
JavaScript dependent. And I too sometimes prefer to have a link open
in a new window, or in a new tab. That's when I right click the link
and choose an option. I hate it when they open new windows without
asking me, while I have a tabbed browser so that I don't need so many
windows open!
